3.1 Hardware installation tutorial

3.1.1 Suite Installation Tutorial

The mounting position for the Ultrasonic sensor

Put the ultrasonic sensor to the corresponding position of the slide rail.

(1) Install the ultrasonic module

(2) Color sensor

After locking in the position of the color sensor, users may run the system once to observe the gripping position of uArm, and then place the color sensor according to the grabbing position of the uArm.

06

The main function of the limit switch module is to establish the uArm start-ing point and assist the uArm to reset.

(3)Limit switch

(5) Install uArm 30P extendable base.

Install uArm 30P extendable base to the rear interface on uArm

07

Put uArm on the fixing plate of the slider.

(6)Fix the uArm

3.2 Software Installation Tutorial

3.2.1uArm controller & uArm Swift Pro Firmware Writing Tutorial

(1) Connect the uArm Controller to the computer with a USB cable

（2）Turn on the switch

（3）Download XLoader ( )

uArm Controller Firmware Writing

The firmware of uArm Controller has been written before leaving the facto-ry. If you need to re-write the firmware, please refer to the following steps.

（4）Download the hex( ),click the link( )to learn how to download single directory from GitHub.

（5）Open XLoader and select your controller's COM port from the drop down menu on the lower left.

（6）Select the appropriate device from the dropdown list titled "Device".（7）Check that Xloader set the correct baud rate for the device: 115200 for

Mega (ATMEGA2560).（8）Now use the browse button on the top right of the form to browse to your

hex file.（9）Once your hex file is selected, click "Upload" The upload process general-

ly takes about 3 seconds to finish. Once completed, a message will appear in the bottom left corner of XLoader telling you how many bytes were upload-ed. If there was an error, it would show instead of the total bytes uploaded. Steps should be similar and may be done through the command prompt.

(1)Download the project slider( ),clickthe link( )to learn how to download single directory from GitHub.(2)Configure Arduino IDE，select the board as "Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560", Select the COM that allocated randomly by your computer, please refer to the following picture:

If you want to change the code in the firmware, you need to download the firmware in the following way:

（3）Open the "Manage Libraries".

（4）Install u8glib.

（5）Press the "Upload" button to upload firmware.

A dedicated firmware has been flashed for uArm Swift Pro, such as firmware is not

able to control the robotic arm with uArm Studio. To control the robotic arm with

uArm Studio, please restore the firmware as follows:

Connect uArm Swift Pro to your computer, open XLoader

xloader.russemotto.com/

and load uArmPro_V4.X.X.hex

https://github.com/uArm-Developer/SwiftProForArduino/tree/Version_V4.0/hex

Click the "Upload" button to upload the code to uArm Swift Pro.

uArm Swift Pro firmware Writing tutorial

Connect uArm Swift Pro to your computer. Open XLoader

xloader.russemotto.com/

and load uArmPro_V4.X.X.hex

download link：https://github.com/uArm-Developer/SwiftProForArduino/tree/Version_V4.0/hex

Click the "Upload" button to upload the code to uArm Swift Pro.

Click the "Upload" button to upload the code to uArm Swift Pro.

Note: If the cube is placed on the color sensor, and uArm is not able to grab, it is

likely due to the value of the color sensor recognition is inconsistent with the preset

color cube value, which makes it impossible to follow the default procedure. You

can view the real-time values by uncommenting the following code and connecting

the uArm Controller to your computer.

功能

According to the real-time value of the color cube, the following values are changed, R corresponds to the red cube, Y corresponds to the yellow square, and G corresponds to the green cube.RED, GREEN and BLUE are the three-color values.

Taking a yellow cube as an example, r, b, and g are the three-color values of the yellow cube read.
